When you’re young, you look at television and think, There’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards!

Don’t be trapped by dogma-which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

The only way to do great work is to love what you do.

You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.

I once dieted so religiously I quit eating in church.

The one thing coaches cannot tolerate… is the individual who grows arrogant because he excelled at a lower level and believes he has nothing else to learn.

Duty makes us do things well, but love makes us do them beautifully.

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

Some of us learn from other people’s mistakes and the rest of us have to be other people.
